Introduction

Welcome to Computational Thinkers. Computational Thinkers is operated by Computational Thinkers, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “us,” or “the Company”).

These Terms of Service (“Computational Thinkers Terms” or “Terms”) apply to your use of any of our products or services including:

Return Policy

In the event the Student/Guardian is not completely satisfied or must cancel enrollment, a prorated refund will be made equal to the classes remaining. However, we do ask that you help find a replacement student as we do turn students away that wanted your spot originally.

Attendance and Missed Class Make Up Policy

If you notify us in advance, prior to enrolling in a session, that the student will be missing classes, we will refund your payment directly after your purchase (before classes begin). However, if the student misses a class after enrollment, refunds for a missed class will not be provided.

Additionally, because our classes are cumulative, we do not offer make up classes. If you think the student might miss classes, we suggest you inform the instructor in advance so they can provide missing material and/or a possible recording of the class you missed.

Internet, Pictures & T.V. Terms

From time to time during the school year, the media (local newspapers, TV) may be in a Computational Thinkers’ classroom to cover various functions. On occasion, while covering these events, children are interviewed and/or photographed.

Also, at each class we like to capture the student’s activities to share with our parent community via various social media outlets. Please be assured that on Computational Thinkers’ web site, Twitter Account or Facebook page, your child and his/her work may be visible.

Changes to Websites

We may change or discontinue any aspect, service or feature of the Websites at any time, including, but not limited to, content, availability, and equipment needed for access or use.

Registration

You may be given the opportunity to register via an online registration form or by participating in interactive areas, such as forums and other community features, to create a user account (“Your Account”) that may allow you to receive information from us and/or to participate in certain features on the Websites. We will use the information you provide in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

By registering you represent and warrant that all information that you provide on the registration form is current, complete and accurate to the best of your knowledge. You agree to maintain and promptly update your registration information on the websites so that it remains current, complete and accurate. You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining all connectivity, computer software, hardware and other equipment needed for access to and use of the Websites and all charges related to the same.

Accident and Medical Release

By registering for classes with Computational Thinkers you agree, except as expressly identified by you, (the student, parent or guardian), in the check out registration form, that you are not aware of any health or medical conditions the student may have that would suggest to you that the student should not be a participant in the classes operated or provided by Computational Thinkers. You have not been advised by a qualified health care provider, or otherwise, that the student should not participate in any of our classes or activities.

As a result of enrolling in classes with Computational Thinkers, all efforts will be made to educate and protect students, while under our care. We will watch over them, as if they were our own. However, by enrolling student(s) in classes with Computational Thinkers and selecting the – I’ve read and accept the terms & conditions – checkbox during the check out process, you hereby and irrevocably waive, release and discharge Computational Thinkers, including all of its employees, directors, officers, agents, trustees, representatives, contractors, sub-contractors, volunteers, other participants and/or members, predecessors, successors and assigns these “Releasees”, for and from any and all injury, harm and/or damages of any kind, howsoever caused or arising, including those arising from the Releasees’ own negligence, as well as any and all liability arising from, or related to, directly or indirectly, the student’s death, disability, personal injury, property damage or property theft, and any other claims for damages the student or you may have now or in the future, including those related directly or indirectly to the student’s participation in the classes.

I understand that these terms will be used against you in any proceeding for which you make a claim of any kind against the Releasees, on your own or on behalf of, or as a representative of, the student.

Bullying Policy

“Bullying” means any written, verbal, graphic, or physical act that a student or group of students exhibits toward other particular student(s) and the behavior causes mental or physical harm to the other student(s); and is sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive that it creates an intimidating, threatening, or abusive educational environment for the other student(s).

In the event, a representative of Computational Thinkers, witness bullying with our own eyes, we address it instantly. We have a “3 Strikes and You're Out” policy. The first strike, we will pull the student aside and have a talk with all parties involved, finding out the facts. On the 2nd bullying incident, we will ask the parents to pick the child up. No refund is given for the remainder of the day.

If your student is the aggressor, we ask parents to encourage their student to write a note to the victim, which includes an apology, and bring it to course the next day, hopefully with a fist pump, hand shake or hug to make everything all good.

If there is a 3rd incident, the instigator of the bullying be asked to leave the premises where the classes are held and will be banned from attending any future Computational Thinkers classes. A prorated refund will be given for any remaining classes the student did not attend, excluding the day the last bullying incident occurred.

Classroom Visiting Policy

For in person classes, parents/guardians of our students are more than welcome to sit in on classes to observe; We ask that observers maintain a quite by-stander perspective. If the presence of the parents are distracting to the students or the class, we reserve the right to ask the parent to wait outside the classroom area until class is over.

If we Have to Cancel a Class

In the event we do not meet our minimum enrollment count for a course, event or webinar we may need to cancel the class & notify you of an alternate class based on availability or the choice of a refund of the class that was cancelled. If in the unlikely event Computational Thinkers has to cancel a course or event, refunds will be processed within 5-7 business days from the date of cancellation if an alternate class is not chosen or available. If a class is canceled midway (for reasons beyond our control), we will provide a prorated refund for the remaining classes.

Dress Code

For students attending in person or online, clothing and jewelry that promote the use of drugs or alcohol, depict violence, abusive or gang type behavior, or contain pictures or designs of a sexual nature should not be worn to Computational Thinkers classes. Strapless blouses or halter tops are not allowed. No exposed midriffs will be permitted. Shirts must cover the midriff on all sides. No exposed cleavage will be permitted. Students should wear appropriate undergarments if necessary and should not be exposed. All clothing must conceal undergarments. Shirts that reveal undergarments, whether due to the transparency, length, or lack of coverage of the shirt are not permitted. Pants must be worn at the waist and completely cover the buttocks area. Pants may not be worn in such a way as to expose underwear or skin around the midsection. Parents will be contacted to supply a change of clothing if their child dresses inappropriately.

Wearing Makeup Policy

It is Computational Thinkers opinion that excessive makeup can be a distraction and is not appropriate for very young school-aged children and therefore it is discouraged that you send your children to in person classes wearing makeup, unless it is medically necessary.
